MauiTime Best of Maui 2004: Best Place to Spend Your Last $20: TIE Paradise Spice/Moose McGillycuddy’s/Long’s Drugstore

What started off as just a silly open-ended question to add a little spice and style to the ballot ended up beautifully reflecting the state of Maui’s social life. If there’s a thread that runs through all three selections, it’s gotta be “convenience”—are there better merchants for toiletries, booze and smut? Given enough planning and effort, it’s even possible for a person to hit all three in succession—first Long’s for a little protection, Moose’s for a little action, then Paradise for a little “stimulant” to make up for the complete inability to get any action to use the protection. Paradise Spice, 1010 Lower Main, Ste. B, Wailuku, 249-2449; Moose McGillyCuddy’s, 844 Front St., Lahaina, 667-7758; Long’s Drugstores located island wide. [GT]
